RTFA - one thing that I like the sound of is playing rally games, where you're sliding sideways .. with this you get to look out the side window to see your direction of travel much more natural than staring at the trees going past the front

Unless each monitor was rendered independently by the engine from the same origin but a different camera angle, linked to the angle of the monitor. That way you could stick one on the ceiling if you wanted

The special effect of the universe is likely a practical effect... google it

I go to a lot of gigs, and am involved in putting on gigs, and radio shows. I use facebook to follow bands, find out what's happening, prod the manager of the local gig-pub and also track events.

Love it or hate it facebook seamlessly integrates all of the above in a way that the traditional wider "this is my web page" internet never has. Microformats are pushing close to that but the drummer in a band doesn't know shit about HTML or microformats, they just want to shove some pictures of the gig on "the internet" and post an event for next saturday and invite a bunch of people who they know will spread the words to their mates.

Sometimes, admittedly, I do post pictures of food on it.

Actually this does raise the wider issue of privacy, imagine having a bunch of friends and/or family over to watch a sporting even and the ad break is tailored to you, imagine all the personal products that might be shown, with everyone present in the full knowledge that these are targetted ads...

Because it's not ours?

That'd be a good enough resolution to work out the color(s) of the box you took the cigarette out of

If musicians want to get paid they should perform their music. Not write or record it once and expect to get paid for the rest of their lives (and then some) without having to lift a finger. Does a plumber get paid every time you take a shower? No. The plumber gets paid for performing their physical job.

An example of "working" musicians is Underworld. They're not the kind of band that knocks out an album and plays a "concert tour" to promote sales. These guys are in their 50s and have been gigging almost constantly for two decades - That's how they get paid. Their recorded music is an advertisement for the band itself. The internet is full of Underworld bootlegs & videos and they don't give a crap.

Of course, they're smart enough to own the copyright to their own stuff, no middlemen involved.

Alternating frame? Both frames (left/right) are projected at the same time at full 24FPS, the polarized filters in the glasses separate the light.

Just so I understand : Lower Frame rate = Lower Technical Quality = Higher Perceived Quality? Meatbags are fucked up. (Saying that I know someone who recently bought a new Vinyl turntable, to change between 33/45 RPM you have to lift off the platter and jiggle belts and gears, it cost £££££)

Prometheus is not a CGI fest. http://www.prometheusforum.net/discussion/2118/first-look-at-the-elder-engineer-update-new-pic-shows-9-engineers

My observation is that people who like the AvP films hate Prometheus. I, however, hate the AvP films and went to see Prometheus twice. In 3D both times. And loved it.

Axes being poked in my face is the sort of gimmiky 3D I hate, and hope will go out of fashion real soon. The 3D in Prometheus (filmed in stereo) was really good and I think if the "effect dissolves" for you then that's properly done 3D IMO. I call it "incidental" 3D, where if someone is stood in a forest then you can see the depth but you don't have a branch in your eye.

This is about the EXISTING laws. Modifying them because at the moment a web site owner is not only responsible for the defamation/libel that someone else posted in the comment section but each and every serving of a web page is counted as an individual instance of "publishing" it, meaning ridiculous claims can be made. This adjustment means that web site owners can avoid the charges by a) taking down the comment or b) passing the buck to the person who actually posted it

It's much worse than that, the western world is almost exclusively attracted to "young" people, spending a lot of time trying NOT to look like a fully mature human, nobody has any body hair any more to the point that people think a woman who doesn't shave/wax her legs is disgusting, men are waxing their chests and no one has any public hair any more either. People have nose jobs (because your nose gets larger as you get older) and other surgery to remove evidence that they're actually grown-ups. So basically we're all trying our best to look and act like we haven't been through puberty yet. Pedophilia is just a continuation of that trend.
